Washing hair in hot/warm/cold water?

I wash with hot water, but rinse at the end with cool water. That's the best I can do, cause I love hot water.

I wash with warm water usually - sometimes if I have oil or product I want to get out I'll turn the temperature up a little bit warmer. When I rinse out conditioner I use lukewarm water and then finish with a cold rinse before getting out of the shower.

My hair not only has no flyaways, it also feels really soft and not greasy!

Yep this is what i find hair seems to appreciate a cold rinse it makes it less flyways

Warm water with a cool vinegar rinse for me.

I wash with lukewarm to warm, condition then bun it and turn the water hot for the rest of my shower. Then turn it to cool to rinse conditioner out. I actually like cool water showers though.

I get the water as cool as I can stand it, but since it's winter that's difficult for me! Usually it's medium warm water. Then I use cold water in a mason jar to do a final rinse so it doesn't touch my skin, just my hair.

I wash my hair in the shower, so I use the same nice hot/warm water I use on the rest of me. I can't stand cool or lukewarm showers.

Once I am totally finished, I pour about 40 ounces of really cold water, into which I have dissolved a teaspoon or so of citric acid powder, over my hair, leaning forward so it doesn't get on the rest of me. I do this because we have really hard water, and this counteracts the water hardness and leaves my hair very nice.
